Abstract

Techniques for determining a prediction probability associated with a disengagement event are discussed herein. A first prediction probability can include a probability that a safety driver associated with a vehicle (such as an autonomous vehicle) may assume control over the vehicle. A second prediction probability can include a probability that an object in an environment is associated the disengagement event. Sensor data can be captured and represented as a top-down representation of the environment. The top-down representation can be input to a machine learned model trained to output prediction probabilities associated with a disengagement event. The vehicle can be controlled based the prediction probability and/or the interacting object probability.
